LG announces new ultra-slim LED-backlit monitors

LG has introduced a new batch of EX-series, ultra-slim LCD monitors. The displays boast LED backlighting, a 5ms response time, a 1,500,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and judging by a feature sticker, they should offer HDMI connectivity as well.

LED technology is said to bring up to 40% energy savings, so it's likely that the new EX monitors have an edge on power efficiency -- but the real selling point of these displays is their super thin bezel. They reportedly measure a mere 17.5mm (a little over half an inch) thick, and listed models include the 20-inch EX205, 21.5-inch EX225, and 23-inch EX235 -- perfect for standard desktop use.

LG's new EX entries will probably arrive in Korea before eventually making their way overseas, but there's no official word on price or availability.
